After a delightful Iftar feast, it is time to ease your guilt. So push the plate aside, put on your trainers, call a friend, and head out for a long after-Iftar walking session. Here are some of the best places to burn up the extra calories.
Beaches
Walking at the beach in the evening has a vibe of its own, especially in Ramadan, where there is calmness and serenity. Hit your nearest beach and get your toes in the sand.
• Qurum Beach
• Azaiba Beach
• North Al Hail Beach
Parks
Sometimes you just want lush greenery surrounding you while enjoying a walk with a friend. It is relaxing to the eye, and refreshing to the soul.
• Qurum Natural Park, Qurum
Timings: 8am to 11pm
• Riyam Park, Muttrah
Timings: 6.30am to 12am
• Al Sahwa Park, Al Mawaleh
Timings: 9am to 12am
Neighbourhood Walks
There’s no need to go too far for simple-yet-fun after Iftar activity, you can enjoy a walking session within the streets of your neighbourhood, especially if you live in a quiet, hilly area such as Madinat Al Ilam, Al Ansab, Muttrah Corniche, Airport Heights, or my personal favourite Bousher.
